Yes, of course I assume that the DVD is correct. I have atleast one
more DVD player and my CD32 to test with. Probably some digital tv set
top boxes have s-video output aswell.

I have circuit boards from one or two similar CRT TV:s. Maybe I should
use them to make a s-video to RGB converter and feed the RGB signal to
my plasma. That would probably make a more or less perfect picture.

Also I found some stuff on the net about improving the picture by
changing stuff in the RF modulator. Maybe that might be an option too.
Although the picture is sharp enough to not give any readability
problems at all it would be nice to have a picture as sharp as
possible (without overshoots). :)
